وقال عضو المشروع المهندس محمد عودة "AOD = 0.14" 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "The crescent was very low in the sky.
The weather was bad so low in the sky with many hazy clouds obscuring the view for much of the day.
I only got a short window through the clouds where i could just barely detect it." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد أحمد  الحمدي الجهني "تم تصوير الهلال الساعة  14:58 مساء  يوم السبت 20/ 12/ 2025

❌ Today was the second consecutive day of complete cloud cover. Although I was present at the observing site, the sky was not open, so no observations were possible.

The moon at the time of sunset:
- Observation Location Rivington (C) and then went to Blackburn (D), UK 
- Age After Conjunction: 38:07:30 (1.59 Days) 
- Illumination: 2.43%
- Elongation: +17.88°
- Moon Alt: +3.21°
- Lag: +00:48:31

On 21 December 2025, I had already seen this type of crescent Moon multiple times using binoculars. The sky was often cloudy, but with a bit of luck, I managed positive sightings because the Moon was large enough to be seen through thin clouds.

Because I had already seen this Moon before, I was not especially excited to hunt for it again. I was interested in seeing it with the naked eye from the south, but only if the sky looked clear enough.

Unfortunately, most of the UK was covered by a blanket of clouds. I did not know of any place where the sky was clear in the Moon’s direction, so I decided it was not worth travelling far. 

However, later, I went out locally as a formality and for fun in case a miracle happened. I then drove toward Blackpool but found only a small break in the clouds near Rivington, so I pulled the car into a service station, but the sky was actually turned out very dense.

So I decided to go to Blackburn to meet other moonwatchers and have some relaxing fun moments. Given the cloud cover, I knew there would be nothing to see. 

So yes, unfortunately, although I went out, the sky never opened enough to observe the Moon. Conditions further south were the same." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "It was totally cloudy and raining in York today (21/12/2025) so the moon was not seen. Technically, the moon was too low on the horizon after sunset (Alt < 3°) and was not expected to be seen due to the Major Lunar Standstill year in the UK (2025)." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "I arrived at my sighting location at 4:58 EST (sunset: 5:01 pm).  The western horizon was partly cloudy and hazy.  My first sighting through a pair of 7X50 binoculars was at 4:59 pm.  Soon, the moon was obscured by clouds, and I had to wait until 5:18 pm to spot the crescent with the naked eye.  The horns appeared roughly at 1:30 and 6:30 o'clock positions (1:30;4:00;6:30).  I left my sighting location at 5:58 pm while the moon was still above horizon and visible (actual moonset: 6:22 pm)." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The new crescent of Rajab 1447 AH was not seen on Sunday, Dec 21, 2025 from Assalaam Observatory, Indoneaia. The sky was rainy."

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "The crescent was at the lowest point of the ecliptic and thus low in the sky but the weather conditions were fine during the day. I could immediately detect the crescent with the imaging system and after several minutes of "camera-staring-at-the-right-spot" even the earthshine became visible."
